Hello, all, I am making this post a week after the actual hunt. Time just seems to get away from you on vacation, I suppose.
So anyways, we decided to hit this field next to/behind this house across the street from the town common where there was a stockade in King Philip's war. The part of the field next to the house was very muddy so we started out behind it. We were getting decent enough finds, at a decent rate. He had found a dandy button and some other pieces, and I had found some buttons, and alot of lead, but mostly pottery, glass, and pipe stems (in the end I had found eight). So I headed over to the muddy area, because I was done with the section I was in, and I get a blaring loud signal of +84 next to the lawn, but still in the field. I look down and see a green disk poking out of the dirt. I bent over and brushed some dirt off, hoping to see something, but I couldn't. Then I walked over to Bob and told him he should come watch this. So then we trekked back to where I was, and I pulled out the disk. What I saw was about 3/5 of a disk. I went over to wash it off in a puddle and saw that it was my first King George II copper! That brings in my copper total for the year to 4, with 3 of them being colonial.
Hopefully today that total will rise, as Bob and I should be heading up to some old cellar holes today. Can't wait!
I'll make sure to make a post tonight or tomorrow if I find anything.
Thanks for looking,
